Ben and Keith (The Two Gay Geeks) who screened this short at the first Phoenix Loves Sci- Fi Film Festival along with 20 other shorts. This was one of the ones they chose as a standout among the crowd. This heartwarming short was part of the second block of films on the program. Too bad so many left during the break. This was a true piece of art by one of our local Phoenix filmmakers. Keith is a frustrated wannabe photographer so lenses are a very important piece of equipment and while the initial hook of the lens drew me into the short, what kept me intrigued was the story and the emotional content of the message. Ben's thoughts: Here was another short that drew from an older idea, but its execution was entirely fresh. Granted, the love of photography is what made this one stand out, but the story here could have easily been shown on an episode of Amazing Stories regarding a very specific telescopic camera lens and the importance of family. We look forward to more output form this fine young director.
